The Savage Gear Mutant Rat Soft Loose Body is an ultra-realistic soft lure designed for large predatory fish, particularly pike. Its floating body, moving legs and slender tail create attractive vibrations, even at very slow speeds. Especially effective in heavy cover, it offers an unusual presentation to trigger strikes from wary fish.
The Savage Gear Mutant Rat Soft Loose Body is an innovative soft lure developed especially to appeal to large predatory fish. Inspired by the silhouette of a rodent, it uses a design based on 3D scanning to accurately reproduce the details and proportions of natural prey.
Its floating body allows it to work effectively at very slow speeds while maintaining an attractive presentation. This makes it an excellent option for provoking strikes from inactive or especially wary pike.
The Mutant Rat Soft Loose Body stands out for its highly mobile design. Its ribbed body and very soft sides allow the lure to flex naturally, while its appendages displace a substantial amount of water.
Its oversized frog-inspired legs, paired with a slender rat tail, produce enticing movement as soon as the lure is worked. The rounded, gecko-inspired tips of the legs add subtle micro-vibrations, even when the lure moves very slowly.
This combination of movements keeps the lure highly attractive during slow retrieves and retrieves punctuated by pauses.
The Savage Gear Mutant Rat Soft Loose Body is designed to suit different fishing techniques and rigging setups.
It can be used with an EWG offset hook for a weedless rig, particularly useful when working weed beds, submerged timber and areas with heavy cover.
It is also compatible with corkscrew-style screw rigs and can be paired with the Savage Gear Mutant Hard Rat head to create a hybrid lure combining a hard head and soft body.
This versatility offers plenty of ways to adapt the presentation to fishing conditions and predator behavior.
Thanks to its floating body and high mobility, the Mutant Rat is especially well suited to slow fishing in hard-to-reach areas.
Its distinctive action and varied vibrations are useful in heavily pressured waters, where pike may be reluctant to strike conventional lures.
Its soft, scented material also makes this prey imitation more attractive.
